/etc/rc.d/functions - more sane configuration

Putting the status of the daemons during startup all the way at the right of the screen makes it difficult to see which daemon is backgrounded or which daemon failed.  I propose a more sane configuration:

antony@GENTOO ~ % diff -u functions /etc/rc.d/functions 
--- functions    2007-11-22 18:01:38.000000000 -0500
+++ /etc/rc.d/functions    2007-11-22 17:33:41.000000000 -0500
@@ -17,7 +17,7 @@
     USECOLOR=""
 fi
 # we use 13 characters for our own stuff
-STAT_COL=$[$STAT_COL - 13]
+STAT_COL=$[$STAT_COL - 70]
 
 # disable colors on broken terminals
 TERM_COLORS="$(tput colors 2>/dev/null)"

Submit your patch as a feature request in the bugtracker - it could be missed here.
